2014 Volkswagen Polo 1.4L Diesel · S24 YAB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass during the most recent inspection on 19 June 2025 at 121,365 miles. The absence of recorded defects indicates that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This result follows a brief failure in July 2024 which was rectified immediately within twenty-four hours, suggesting the owner is responsive to mechanical requirements when faults are identified by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant period of activity between April 2022 (65,069 miles) and April 2023 (85,212 miles), where the car covered roughly 20,000 miles in a single year. However, the usage has settled into a more moderate pace, covering approximately 36,000 miles over the final two-year period, which puts predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension without suggesting long-term neglect. While the history is clean of recurring mechanical failures, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Focus on the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. Given the high mileage, checking the brake discs for excessive thinning and inspecting the structural integrity of the underbody for corrosion is essential to ensure no hidden rust has developed between the annual test dates.
